for Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks.

The $80 million will pay for facility upgrades, retooling and increased

opportunities are estimated to result in a 15 percent increase in
production capacity, or approximately 55,000 units.

"Customer demand for F-Series Super Duty trucks is growing
substantially, and F-Series overall is America's best-selling truck for 37
years running," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas.
"Building on more than 100 years of manufacturing in Kentucky, we are proud
to expand our profitable growth in the region as a result of our leadership
in trucks and SUVs."

Kentucky Truck Plant Kentucky Truck Plant produces F-250, F-350, F-450
and F-550 Super Duty pickups, as well as Ford Expedition and Lincoln
Navigator. With the production increase in 2014, the plant will build the
5-millionth Ford F-Series Super Duty. The truck was introduced in 1999.

"We are happy to be adding new jobs at Kentucky Truck Plant, because we
know the impact these jobs will have on the local community," said Jimmy
Settles, UAW vice president, National Ford Department. "It's especially
rewarding to know these jobs come as a result of customer demand. It shows
customers understand and appreciate the dedication our UAW Ford workers put
into delivering top-quality products like Ford F-Series Super Duty."

Ford began manufacturing vehicles in Kentucky in 1913 with 11 employees.
Kentucky Truck Plant, which opened in 1969, covers 6 million square feet
and employs close to 4,000 people.

"This is a great day to be both 'Ford Tough' and a Kentuckian," said
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. "For more than a century, Ford has created
quality vehicles and quality jobs in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I'm
looking forward to seeing even more Kentucky-made Ford F-Series pickups on
the roads, and more Kentuckians back to work as a result of this
investment."

The 2015 Super Duty is Ford's most capable heavy-duty pickup truck yet.
It features significant updates that include the second-generation
6.7-liter Power StrokeŽ V8 turbo diesel with a new, larger turbocharger. In
addition, multiple mechanical changes lead to increased torque, horsepower
and towing capacity, while giving superior fuel economy and durability for
customers. Most of the 2015 F-Series Super Duty lineup will be on sale this
spring. The F-450 pickup truck will be on sale by this summer.

Celebrating its 65th anniversary last year, Ford F-Series topped 750,000
sales in 2013, with more than 70,000 trucks sold in December after eight
straight months of sales above 60,000 vehicles. On average, a single
F-Series pickup was sold every 41 seconds in 2013.

"F-Series continues to dominate the segment, widening the gap between
Ford and key competitors," said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing
manager. "The continued domination of F-Series has made the Blue Oval not
just the industry leader for trucks, but America's favorite truck
manufacturer."
